The Eastern Townships (French: Cantons de l'Est) is a historical administrative region in southeastern Quebec, Canada. It lies between the St. Lawrence Lowlands and the American border, and extends from Granby in the southwest to Drummondville in the northeast.[1] Since 1987, most of the area is within the administrative region Estrie, and the term Eastern Townships is now used in tourist literature.
The name derives from there also being western townships in Ontario.
